The shutdown impasse has led to mutual accusations between Democrats and Republicans. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized Republicans on social media, accusing them of being &#8220;on vacation&#8221; while Democrats remain in Washington ready to keep government agencies running and address healthcare costs. Pelosi stated that if Republicans force a shutdown, they would be responsible for it. Federal departments are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/memo-biden-admin-weighing-plans-to-send-migrants-to-vermont\/\" title=\"Memo: Biden Admin Weighing Plans To Send Migrants to Vermont\">preparing contingency plans<\/a> for a funding lapse, and the Senate is set to vote on temporary funding measures, although none are expected to pass. The article highlights ongoing budget standoffs in Congress, noting that on-time budget appropriations have been rare as the 1970s, with continuing resolutions commonly used to avoid shutdowns. Senate republican leaders blame Democrats for yielding to progressive demands, warning that voters will hold them accountable. As the deadline approaches, federal employees face possible furloughs, and political parties are positioning to assign blame for the shutdown&#8217;s consequences. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Pelosi blames GOP for looming shutdown: &lsquo;Republicans are on vacation&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2360669\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The federal government is set to shut down at midnight if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3830695\/democrats-flood-house-floor-accuse-republicans-vacation-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lawmakers<\/a> fail to agree on a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >short-term spending measure<\/a>, with each party accusing the other of causing the impasse.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3496898\/ex-capitol-police-chief-slams-pelosi-says-she-rejected-national-guard-help-jan-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nancy Pelosi<\/a> (D-CA) criticized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3830874\/state-legislative-gop-caucuses-urge-congress-avoid-government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Republicans<\/a> in a post on X, writing that GOP members &ldquo;are on vacation&rdquo; while Democrats remain in Washington prepared to keep agencies operating and address healthcare costs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3830695\/democrats-flood-house-floor-accuse-republicans-vacation-shutdown\/\">Democrats flood House floor to accuse Republicans of being on &#8216;vacation&#8217; despite looming shutdown<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3830477\/house-democrats-roasted-over-government-shutdown-selfie\/\">House Democrats roasted over &#8216;shutdown selfie&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3830040\/watch-live-jeffries-speaks-about-government-shut-down-after-meeting-with-trump-gop-leaders\/\">WATCH LIVE: Jeffries speaks about government shutdown after meeting with Trump and GOP leaders<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;If Republicans force a shutdown, it&rsquo;s on them,&rdquo; the former House speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SpeakerPelosi\/status\/1973068994853687451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The government shuts down tonight&mdash;but House Republicans are on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are in Washington, ready to keep government open and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-calls-travel-lid-for-wednesday-an-hour-after-bobulinski-interview-airs\/\" title=\"Biden Calls Travel Lid for Wednesday an Hour After Bobulinski Interview Airs\">lower health care costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If Republicans force a shutdown, it&rsquo;s on them.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Tuesday evening on two temporary funding measures, though neither is expected to clear the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>The votes come after President Donald Trump met with congressional leaders, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Following those discussions, Vice President JD Vance suggested the likelihood of a shutdown remained high.<\/p>\n<p>Budget standoffs are not new. <\/p>\n<p>Since the modern fiscal calendar was set in the 1970s, Congress has completed its annual appropriations on deadline only four times &mdash; in 1977, 1989, 1995, and 1997 &mdash; according to the Congressional Research Service.
